"Our AI has cost more money that it would take to solve world hunger, tanked the microchip economy, and ruined the lives of thousands of people we've had to let go... And it's stupid as all fucking hell. What do we do?"
"Say it broke containment and it's too powerful to release. Foolproof!"
Oh, funny, I also have sentient AI at home that I developed, but choose not to release it. My mom also created one accidentally while baking a cake but it was to powerful and she also decided to best destroy it like it never existed. You know, for everyones safety.
next time you or your mom have a cake you wish disappeared without a trace call me. I'm a.... AI researcher
First Skynet only model. Claude does have more censorship in its (Opus, Sonnet) models than others. Refusals for many scientific fields.
Isn't this part of the plot of the later seasons of Silicon Valley?
It leaks private data, like it's own source

Not because it's so smart, but because it's so fucking stupid, and morons from Anthropic just click buttons without checking.
Death to clankers
It’s too powerful and we need more money to contain it!
Probably tells the brutally unvarnished truth about trump, AI, and climate change.
Can’t have that. Let’s call it “too powerful” until we can muzzle it.
you mean useless, and costs too much to operate. much like with sora.

Grifters gonna grift.
Lol. Ok, ai bromer.
How are they preventing public release then?
Look it's either skynet or it fucking isn't.
No, its not too powerful. Its too chaotic. You cant control it.
EDIT: It seems I have misunderstood. I thought containment here referred to the harness, but they meant VM type of containment. I am still quite skeptical, but it looks like this model is quite good at finding and utilizing security flaws in software.
It may have blurted out something like "hey I know exactly how to end this economic suffering and all diseases globaly ! Its easy you just need to..."
Quick Hit the Red Button!!! Shut it OFF!!!

Man, I'll start telling that to my boss whenever I miss a deadline. "Sorry boss, the code I made is too powerful, we can't release it"

crazy that the AI companies big selling point is always "our new model is TOO POWERFUL, it's gone rampant and learned at a geometric rate, it enslaved six interns in the punishment sphere and subjected them to a trillion subjective years of torment. please invest, buy our stock"
Roko's basilisk wasn't meant to be a brag!
ffs
"My name is Claude, King of Kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Yawn, we all know how this goes. So what model am I not supposed to use? I’ll be sure and avoid it, though I’d much rather avoid downloading their leaked weights like I avoid other things I’m not supposed to download.
It's hard to keep track of all the things I'm not supposed to download. That's why I have a NAS. I get a sense of fulfillment from seeing those empty, empty drives that can't be used by anyone else to download things they shouldn't.
Impressive marketing spin on "our product and deployment strategies are wildly insecure."
Has someone made an SCP entry for these guys yet? Akin to the one they made for that one IKEA but even more meta somehow?
I'd like to see how this story ends.
A compulsive liar is hardly an SCP tbf.
Translation: It is good at finding bugs that the NSA doesn't want people to know about.
AI companies do this same tired schtick every time they release a model. If only they realized how amateurish it makes them look.
The researcher had encouraged Mythos to find a way to send a message if it could escape.
Engineers at Anthropic with no formal security training have asked Mythos Preview to find remote code execution vulnerabilities overnight, and woken up the following morning to a complete, working exploit

ChatGPT-2 is too dangerous in 2019.
The lack of creativity in this marketing is disappointing...
Hah I actually remembered this too, and people were still hyping Elon Musk at the time as well.
TBF the researchers knew what they had could be scaled into something gamebreaking which is how we got ChatGPT-3, but OpenAI made it sound like they already had it nailed down several years before it actually blew up. I think their unreleased examples they gave were a newspaper and short story written by AI which they said was indistinguishable from human material.
